In the past, the Chainsmokers have been accused of copying twenty one pilots on multiple occasions. First, fans thought the Chainsmokers’ song “Sick Boy” sounded like “Heathens.” Then, even before “Everybody Hates Me” was released, the pop duo teased a “heavydirtysoul”-esque photo in support of the track. Of course, when the song was released, it also kind of sounded like “heavydirtysoul.”
However, upon this new tattoo-related discovery, some twenty one pilots fans believe that the pop duo are just paying homage to Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun.

Recently, the Chainsmokers teamed up with blink-182 to write a song. According to Mark Hoppus, blink-182 and the Chainsmokers have been friends for quite some time. After realizing that their schedules aligned, the two projects agreed to collaborate.
